HALIFAX.— August 1 I arrived here. I had spent the preceding Sabbath at Moncton, New Brunswick, in company with Elder J. O. Miller. Every development of the work so far has been of an encouraging nature. The people as a whole are friendly, neighborly, and easy to get acquainted with. I am sure I shall enjoy my work.
Sunday afternoon, August 8, I began a tent effort. All the seats were occupied at the first meeting. At night we could have filled a tent two or three times as large as the one we have. Large congregations have attended every service, always some standing, sometimes as many as two hundred unable to get seats. Last night we had our record crowd. The street before the tent, and the field around it, were thronged with people. I presented the Sabbath question. They took it calmly, and seemingly in a serious and thoughtful way. I can not tell yet what the outcome will be, but I am hoping, trusting, and believing that the dear Lord will gather out some souls for himself. J. A. STRICKLAND.
